What is Earlobe Reduction Surgery?
Earlobe reduction surgery is a surgical procedure performed to reduce and correct large, pendulous earlobes that many of you may find unattractive. Large earlobes are mostly by genetics and some are droopy due to wearing heavy earrings or having large piercings. In this treatment, the extra part of the earlobe will be removed to give a slimmer and more desired shape.
How It Works
Earlobe reduction surgery can be performed by either local anesthesia or general anesthesia. For local anesthesia, an injection will be done 30 mins before cutting a wedge of the earlobe out. The remains will be reattached to the head.

1. Consultation and examination of the ear condition
2. Marking of the areas to be removed
3. Application of local anesthesia or general anesthesia
4. Incisions will be made at the marked area
5. Closing of the incisions
6. A thin unnoticeable scar may be left behind and fade over time
